Sniper Elite 5 now has a release date, and it's not too far away. According to the new trailer just released by Rebellion Developments, Sniper Elite 5 will arrive on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC on May 26, 2022.

A continuation of the longstanding Sniper Elite series, Sniper Elite 5 picks up just after the previous game and puts players back in command of Lt. Karl Fairburne, SOE operative and sharpshooter. Fairburne gets sent into France in 1944 as part of the US Ranger group tasked with taking down Germany's Atlantikwall fortifications on the coast of Brittany.
